1. A human/machine interface to control at least two functions of a motor vehicle, the human/machine interface comprising:

  • a capacitive touch pad that comprises an array of electrically charged electrodes, the capacitive touch pad being configured to receive a command for at least one function;

    a haptic feedback device configured to provide feedback to the user of the human/machine interface on recognition of the command; and

    a control device configured to receive, from the touch pad, a signal representative of a command from the user on said touch pad, the signal being linked to the disturbance of the electrostatic field generated by the array of electrodes upon a command from the user on the touch pad,the control device being configured to determine the function to be activated when the level of the signal received is greater than or equal to a threshold value as a function of the number of electrodes of the array of electrodes of the capacitive touch pad for which the level of the signal is greater than or equal to said threshold value.
